Central Asia Policy Briefs

The OSCE Academy in Bishkek is welcoming proposals for its Central Asia Policy Briefs Series on topics related to comprehensive security and development in Central Asia. The topics may cover various facets of comprehensive security and development, including, but not limited to, socioeconomic determinants of security, identity-based conflicts, politics and religion, ethnopolitics, security organizations, economic development, international relations, the situation in Afghanistan and other neighboring states.

Central Asia Policy Briefs are intended to foster interaction among policy, expert, and scholarly communities.

The Academy seeks in the future to make selected issues available in Central Asian languages as well. Submission guidelines can be downloaded here.
